Creature performer & actor Dee Tails (Rogue One, Solo, The Force Awakens) joins us to talk about his role as Senator Chuwant and shooting the finale for THE ACOLYTE! He upheld a J.J. Abrams tradition when playing this character - do you know what it is? You can meet Dee at our Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics panel at San Diego Comic-Con, and he will also be signing on July 29 during the Virtual Cantina tour at Scum & Villainy in Hollywood.
We planned on having Dee on the same show as our ACOLYTE breakdown with Mike Celestino (Laughing Place / Who’s The Bossk) but there was so much to each part that we separated them and our full breakdown will come out in just a few days. Stay tuned!
Today in Star Wars History - 7/21/1978
Due to its overwhelming popularity, the theatrical run for Star Wars extends another seven weeks. Although some may call this a re-release, however it was never pulled from theaters. Fun Facts:
- A new poster is created for this extended release featuring artwork by Charlie White III and Drew Struzan.
- A monaural audio mix with extra lines of dialogue and sound effects was included in these additional prints. Extra dialogue includes C-3PO’s line about cutting the Death Star’s tractor beam to allow the Millennium Falcon to leave, and the Stormtrooper shouting to “Close the blast doors,” while chasing Han Solo and Chewbacca through the Death Star corridors. Before this we only heard “Open the blast doors!”
- The number of film prints totals 1,756 for this release which is an industry record. 300 more prints is added the next week which is the first time a film played in more than 2,000 theaters.
- Because of a clause in their contract, the only theater to continue playing Star Wars following the seven week extension is the Westgate Theater outside of Portland, Oregon. Following the 76 week run, Star Wars continues there until 11/07/1978.
